With the sway bars disconnected and articulation increased, isn’t there a risk of exceeding the travel of the stock shocks (causing their failure)? Would longer travel shocks and/or limit straps be necessary?
@@nadirelf the sway bar isn’t intended to limit the distance or length of travel, rather it stabilizes the car, limiting body roll at speed and cornering. When doing slow and technical crawling, a sway bar causes the body of the car to try to stay in line with the suspension, if the angle is too great, the car can rollover. The disconnects allow the front suspension to articulate freely from the lateral torsional force created by the sway bar, allowing the body to stay parallel while the axle manages the angles of the terrain. The shocks are still the limiting factor in the suspension travel, longer shocks would allow for more droop and greater articulation. Limit straps are insurance to limit down travel to protect the shocks during high speed jumps or extreme articulation with lots of torque, which likely aren’t needed in a midarm application like this.
@@avidtest well it really depends on your intended use. It essentially acts like an adjustable rate sway bar by increasing or decreasing the air pressure. It may be a little bit of a nuisance to figure out the right pressure you like in different situations and to crawl under the rig to add or remove pressure. It’s more geared towards high speed stuff. It’s a really cool piece of kit. I want to be able to be fully disco though, I like to party 🪩 💃 🕺
Straps and brackets are likely to “tie up”, strap up the sway bar when disconnected. Another great video. Thanks.
Yeah appears that way, kit came with mounting tabs too which is nice. 🤙🤙
Hey Justin, that's a great sway bar disconnect set-up. I look forward to seeing the installation video. Keep up the good work!
@@P.deStQuentin will do! 🤙🤙
Awesome video. Thank you!
@@metalcloak no, thank you guys for bringing your expertise to this platform! I’m excited to get the full kit installed and to hit the rocks! 🤙🤙

Thanks for the detailed reply, Justin.
@@nadirelf no problem sir! 🤙🤙
What are your thoughts on the Apex Airlynx sway bar disconnects if/when they become available for Grenadier?
